Messages of Grace

I have spent the last months in a spiritual study program created by Pastor Rich Nelson called “Following the Way.” My “group” was led by Vonda Drees who combined Rich’s message and with an artistic response. Vonda does amazing “doodles” and we started the study trying to doodle in a similar way. However, some of us found that we wanted to respond artistically in other ways: some in water colors and others using photographic images. I tend to process my world through my photographs so for me it was a logical way to respond. I found that my images came with unexpected messages that I shared along the way. My group has encouraged me to continue using my photographs in this way posting my observations and images on this blog. If you stumble upon these or intentionally follow this blog, I’m delighted. Perhaps these messages of grace can be a comfort or enlightenment to you. Susan Lake
